I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Zhiyao married Fen Ying, which made it easier for the Zhi clan to defeat the Zhao clan to annex the remaining Zhao clan in Jin.

In the same way, if Zhikai married a royal daughter of Song or Chu, the original country would annex Song or Chu in the future. If Song or Chu could not be annexed, it would be easier to maintain diplomatic relations to some extent. A generation of successors who have the blood of Song or Chu royal family can also reduce a lot of troubles.

There is only one point, it depends on how the parties handle it, one mistake will face great trouble.

For example, in the original history, the marriage between the Qin State and the Chu State for generations made the Qin State’s court hall under the control of the Chu Clan. It is completely because Ying Yiren can act, and then when Yingzheng has more Shandong Clans uniting with the local Clan to compete with the Chu Clan, it is considered A very fragile balance is formed.

Zhikai is the prince of the original country, so it is impossible and impossible to marry a concubine; a daughter of a concubine will not be the eldest, unless the Chu State or Song State gave the daughter a strong and big city, otherwise there is no need to think about it.

Perhaps very few people know every fact: From ancient times to the Eastern Han Dynasty, the first daughter of the monarch was born with political status.This point was broken after Wu Huan Hua.

In that list, not only were the comments inappropriate, but why it was inappropriate was clearly written.

Zhiyao was not so detailed when reviewing the memorials, but I can tell from the content of the annotations that she really put her heart into it!

The candidates for the crown princess in the list are nothing more than the royal daughters of other countries with different surnames, and then the noble daughters of their own countries.

At present, there are not many countries with different surnames on a relatively large scale, only Chu, Song and Yue remain.

Other small vassal states that originally belonged to the enfeoffment system of the Zhou royal family included Qi State, Teng State, Xue State, Pi State, Tan State, and Tan State. The added Ju State was never a marriage partner.

Others like Ba, Shu, Baipu, etc. Yuan Guo would only choose one of their daughters to be the princess if he was crazy.

The princes were unable to marry for various reasons.

There are actually quite a few nobles with different surnames in the country, but they lack the value of attracting them.

In addition, Fenying very much hopes that Zhikai can marry Zhao's daughter.From her point of view, it's more relatives. The problem is that Zhiyao is good enough to Zhao Bolu, the queen is from the Zhao family, and the princess is a daughter of the Zhao family. It is destined to have a group of foreign relatives.

Others such as Zhang, Gao Gao, Xie and the like?If Zhi Kai married their daughter, he might as well turn his attention to Qi State!

Anyway, Qi State is also one of the three Kes, and there is a precedent of Jin Yugong, so no one will gossip.

Zhiyao looked at Fenying who was speechless, and asked, "What can I do?"

Fen Ying thought for a while and asked, "Daughter of Chen Guo..."

There was no noble daughter of Chen Guo on the previous list, the main reason is that Chen Guo has gone overseas.

No matter what the purpose of the surname Chen is, and how well he knows how to assess the situation, fleeing in embarrassment is a big fact.

In Fenying's view, anyone can be included in the list, and it would be embarrassing to marry a daughter of the Chen family.

Not to mention, Zhiyao really considered the surname Chen.

What kind of embarrassment, Zhiyao didn't have such thoughts about Chen's surname.

Dudu is that Chen Guo will be regarded as a foreign country in the future, and marrying their daughter is very likely to give the surname Chen the footsteps of Zhu Xia again.

Do you think that changing to the Chen family will change the family's cunning and restless character?Even if the prefix is ​​changed, the Tian family will still be the same Tian family.

Zhiyao just wanted to block Chen Guo firmly on the Korean peninsula, wait for a day in the future to harvest, and then receive the inheritance developed by the Chen family surnamed Gui.

Of course, even if he didn't marry Yuan Guo, Chen Guo would do whatever he wanted, but marrying Yuan Guo would immediately give him the channel and convenience to reach out.

how to say?The concubine of the Yuan Kingdom has the surname of Chen, and it is difficult for the officials of the Yuan Kingdom to deal with people with the surname of Chen, so they will give a little face no matter what.

At that time, the Chen family with the surname of Wei will definitely make progress. Breaking through a certain boundary will not only harm the daughter who is married far away, but also implicate the prince.

At that time, regardless of the public opinion, whether Zhiyao should deal with it or not, and what should be done?
To be honest, Zhiyao was stumped by Zhikai's marriage!
Fen Ying, who read the annotations on the list, also looked extremely big-headed, and his eyes became dull for a moment.

Let Zhikai play free love regardless of his background?This is impossible!
It's not that Yuan Guo's strength can't let Zhikai play free love, it's just that Zhikai's status doesn't allow it.

As long as Zhikai is the prince of the original country, he will not live for himself. He needs to bear too many responsibilities, and if it goes to an exaggerated level, it will concern nearly tens of millions of subjects in a country.

Even if there are real examples of children from big families or aristocrats playing free love, first savor the woman's family background before talking about it.The circle that can form contact is so big, no one is a noble person, it's just that there is a difference in strength.

Even in modern times, how many couples can really be happy when your son falls in love with an ordinary woman?It's more about making a lot of jokes and getting a tragic end.

Zhikai, who was summoned, came back and saw a big battle.

Of course Zhiyao was sitting in the main seat, and Fen Ying was sitting next to him. One king and one queen could really stand side by side, no one could say anything.

The left and right sides are either ministers or aunts, and everyone has different expressions.

"I have seen my father and mother, my lords."

Everyone present is older than Zhikai, so calling him "Master" will make him appear closer.

Zhiyao and Fenying don't need to return the gift, but the rest of them can't sit still and have to stand up to greet Zhikai.

"Prince, come here." Fen Ying greeted Zhi Yao, motioning to sit on Zhi Yao's left side.

The Zhou Dynasty did not distinguish between the left and the right, and the previous Shang Dynasty generally respected the left.

The most important thing in a country is to sacrifice Zairong. The Yin and Shang shaman culture is very strong, and Zuo Shi is the No. 1 general.

After Zhi Kai sat down, he asked softly, "Father, what happened?"

Did this guy change his identity very slipperily?Greeting loudly is the "father king" of the monarch and ministers, and the voice is quieter to become the "father" of the father-son relationship.

The lad can be skinny.

Zhiyao has to be steady in every aspect, how could she whisper.

Fen Ying didn't have so many restrictions, and reminded in a low voice: "Your marriage is really difficult, your majesty has summoned important ministers to give advice."

Zhikai subconsciously looked at Zhao Bolu, wondering if his uncle was considered an important minister?

How do you say this?Zhao Bolu is an internal historian of one of the nine ministers, so why is he not an important minister.

It's just that, Zhao Bolu was completely "favored" before he got the high position, and later he was awarded the title of knighthood. It's really not that qualified to judge whether it is purely based on merit.

It's not that Zhiyao broke the rules, Zhu Xia has always had the custom of rewarding his wife's natal family generously, and Yuan Guo's excellent treatment for Zhao Bolu is just a continuation of the tradition, and it also makes the king more humane.

As far as the facts are concerned, the appointment of Zhao Bolu by Yuan Guoshi is far more suitable than anyone else. Zhiyao can grasp Zhao Bolu, and Zhao Bolu can also help Zhikai in the future.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Bolu is doomed to rely only on the royal family, which is purely bound, and his personal ability is too limited to cause too much trouble.

"This spring the prince will go to the north, and I want to marry the prince next year, but the queen is impatient." Zhi Yao said with a smile.

Everyone followed suit with a smile.

Zhi Kai couldn't laugh, and seemed a little frozen for a while.

Many people saw this scene, and couldn't help but start thinking wildly in their hearts.

They should be thinking: "Does the prince have someone he likes?"

However, Zhi Kai had mixed feelings and thought: "Is there no woman who is qualified to be my wife?"

Many people don't like the restriction of "the right family", and there is a reason for its existence.

From a very young age, Zhikai knew that marriage could not be decided by himself. It’s not that he didn’t look forward to what his other half would be like in the future. In his cognition, he would be the daughter of a certain prince. He never thought about the age of marriage but couldn’t find the right one. of the object.

What does this mean?It just purely shows that other countries are no longer worthy of being equal to the original country.

Otherwise, as long as Fan Zhiyao reveals a little bit of meaning, I believe the kings of the countries will know how to operate.

The most suitable Song Junluan must immediately pay attention to a certain daughter, and reward her with food to improve her political status.

Thinking that the Yue State is more qualified than the Song State, Gou Jian might be able to do the operation of self-recommendation to send a girl?
The rest of the pocket princes couldn't be reserved either, they were willing to do anything in order to be able to marry the prince of the original country.

Maybe it will accelerate the usurpation of Chu Zhaogu?

Zhiyao has been paying close attention to Zhikai all the time, and there is no sign of which family Zhikai has a crush on. Seeing Zhikai's appearance, she becomes a little less sure.

"But is there someone you like?" This question can only be asked by Zhiyao.

Zhi Kai was taken aback by the question, and answered honestly: "Marriage matters, parents' orders, etiquette, children..."

Everyone was both happy and disappointed.

Isn't it because it's so difficult that it's happening now?

If Zhikai has someone he likes, there must be a reason for his usual sensibleness.

Sun Wu, who had closed his eyes before, opened them and said, "If there is no one to choose, what about the daughter of the Dou family?"

Dou Shi?It was a family in the state of Jin who was extremely good at water conservancy projects. Their fiefdom was not large, and their private force was low, but their reputation was great.

This Dou family later became a vassal of the Zhi family. During his lifetime, Dou Ji participated in the water conservancy project east of "Handan".

Sun Wu continued: "The Dou family is small, so they can make concubines from all the families, so as to fulfill their concubine status."

Since ancient times, aristocratic women will definitely bring their cousins ​​or cousins ​​when they get married, they are concubines.

At that time, there were different voices and different texts in ten miles. At the beginning, their role was to worry that the married woman would go to a strange place and no one would accompany her to talk.

After all, they are all cousins, which means that the blood relationship is close, and the children born have the blood of the mother's family.

This kind of practice stems from the rule that a man has only one wife, and the dowry wife has children, and there is only one mother.Therefore, the offspring born by the concubine also had the right to inherit from the beginning.The so-called concubines are those born by a man who slept with a woman or other women who have no status.

Zhiyao opened her mind after hearing Sun Wu's suggestion.

That's right, anyway, Zhikai's marriage must be related to politics. Marrying is actually a marriage. There is no suitable candidate abroad, so the choice must be made internally.

If there is only one family, the mismatch of status will harm that family. The wife is from this family, and the concubine is from another family, so it is very suitable at once.

However, if it is really going to be done, it will immediately evolve to the historical stage of the late Warring States period.

What's the meaning?From the Spring and Autumn period to the middle period of the Warring States period, even the princes did not accept concubines casually, and it was the turn of the era of mutual exchange of protons. Those who acted as protons had women abroad, and were arranged for wives when they returned home. They could only make the women who were abroad feel wronged. Became a concubine.

The history of Zhuxia has always been continuous. Wives and concubines have changed into wives and concubines, and then the women have evolved from the same family to different families; They are nobles, and ordinary families are not qualified to take concubines at all.There are wives and other women. The status of these women is actually the same as that of women in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

There is a little historical common sense: concubines in the Song Dynasty were contract workers, and they could be terminated when the contract expired.

Fen Ying was stunned, and except for Zhi Yao, those who heard Sun Wu's suggestion were also dumbfounded.

The original country has been carrying out reforms, generally involving changes at the national strategic level.

Now even the rules of marriage have to take the lead in changing it?
The Dou family did not make any military exploits, but who can say that their contributions are small.

What makes it embarrassing is that the Dou family has made a lot of contributions, and some people have quite high official positions, but their titles are somewhat low.

Zhiyao made a decision and said: "In this case, the daughter of the Dou family will be the wife of the crown prince, and the families will choose the concubine."

There is no "concubine" rank in the harem now, and it will not be established until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Zhikai felt very dizzy!
Speaking of it, Zhikai is quite similar to Zhiyao, his interest is not in women's sex at all, he prefers to pursue a career, thinking of so many women in his house makes his face pale.

Zhiyao made a decision, and the person at the scene who was not surnamed Ji immediately had an idea.

As the proposer, Sun Wu said with a smile: "The daughter of the minister's son-in-law has not yet married, please be kind to the king."

Sima Rangju's face darkened, and while scolding Sun Wu in his heart, he said: "The first daughter of the minister's grandson has a marriage contract, and the second daughter can also be the crown prince's concubine."

The parties without any decision-making power, that is, the figures of two women appeared in Zhikai's mind, and his hands trembled involuntarily.

These two people who will have status in Wumiao in the future, their nephews and nephews are relatively ordinary, while the grandsons and granddaughters of their grandchildren focus on being cultivated. The two who will become prince concubines are very heroic.

The news that the candidate for the crown princess has been decided spreads quickly, along with the news of wanton selection of concubines.

Other countries will definitely think that the original country is acting recklessly, but there is no voice of opposition within the original country. On the contrary, the families that feel qualified are operating desperately.

Dou, who was hit by a pie on his head, must have been extremely happy, but the first thing he did was to straighten out the armed forces of the family men.

What are you doing?Of course, he was preparing to go on an expedition, and he had to make some contributions in the military to avoid being gossiped!
